L 0 N D 0 N, This morning a Gentleman who came over in the Bittern, from the Mediterranean, arrived at the Foreigii Office.' He was at Vigo on the 2dinst. and states, that intelligence had been received in that City of the attack upon Gen. DU PONT by the Span- NI Patriots after- he had passed the Sierra Nforeni Their force did not exceed 11 4 000 men, and there Were very few regulars among them. The action lasted some time, but the Patriots were at length re- pulsed with the loss of about 1000 men. Gen. Du roNT, however, did not think it prudent to advance, but proceeded to entrench himself near.leardova. The Patriots, it is added, were not at all dismayed by this check, and in the. course of a few : days, reinforcements pouring in from all sides, their force amounted to upwards of 40,000 men and having taken possession of the citiiks in tau ;ear of General DV?o?, they again attacked and, after a most severe a&ioa of several theysucceeded in completely annihilating the Fitno:l Army, with a loss on their side, wu are sor• ry to say,. of near gOOO men. Such is the 44- count which had reached Vigo on the ed instant, aild was universally credited. nis tnorning a Goiteiburgh Mail arrived, which confirms the account of the Expeditioy under Sir J. :\rooß E having Sailed from Gottenburgh on its return to England Sotne of the private Letters which reach ed this Count ry yesterday stated that in consequence of a misunderstanding between the King of SWEDEN and Sir JOHN MooRE, his Majesty had ordered Sir JOHN and Col. MußttAv to be put under an arrest, but that they escaped in disguise. The fad is, that there was a misunderstanding between his Swedish Alajesty and thq, British Ge ner al, respeaing the ope rations -of the Britis.h force, in consequence of which the Kingtctesired Sir Jour not to quit Stockholm. Sir J ` °nv MooaP. did not feel himself bound to obey this order, and took the earliest opportunity of leav jug Stockholm, in company with Colonel Multi:AY. Last night some more French and Dutch Papers reached .town, the contents of which are of consi derable.imporrance, because yhey sheW, in the most unelnil,.'ocal manner, the alarm which BUONAPARTE feels, in consequence of the events which have re cently happened in Spain. He is evidently appre hensive that the glorious example of The Spaniards may- be followed by other Nations„ and he ha:, therefore, recourse to the most absurd and disgustinz falsehoods to keep the'People of France and of his `Vassal States in ignorance. The .drzus, which is k.a owri to be a demi-official Paper, says, that false 4 11 a idle rumours have been circulated of insurree tlons havins broken out in Spain, but that these rumours welt) s p ee dily belied ; that Spain is per fealy tranquil, and the City of Cadiz in particular, had reje,aed with contempt the propositinus of the English. This statement appeared in the dirgz.t.7 of ►the Joth ultltno, that 15, tai days after the sarrender of the Yreach Flect is the harbour of Cadiz to the Spaniards The Report of the death of the King-of Englaad, which BUON.IP4IITZ circulated with ele. saniftion of the nam e of one of his Ministers, attids another 'proof of. the despicable arti&es to which he finds it tt.2cessary to have recourse in his present situation, an,l it also shew 3 that in his opinion nothing could heanore favourable to his can than the dismission of the present, +A.tlministration of this Country, and the reappointment of their Predecessors,. At fiayonne, Kinr, 4 ( mm, and his mi sera bl e Junta, are endeavouring to cajole the People of 'p ain . by profe ss i ons of ki n d ness, an d promising to - relieve them f rom certain Taxes ; but, noti.vithstaktd ing the b -2 4 ranquillity which reigns throughout Spin, he has not yet thought it prudent to visit his new Subjeas. we teet.great pleasure in submitting the Gazette of last night to our Readers, as it fully confirms-all , the interesting and important intelligence respeaing B pain and Portugal, which they 'received througli the medium of THE SUN, soon after it arrived in ,this Country.. There is indeed hardly an articlejn the Gazette which is not a confirmation of what we pre viously related. Rut what is chiefly gratifying' in informtinn from Spain, next to the proof of commo n s• mimetic of determined patricttsm on. the. •ieirt of the pes,ple of that C .unary, is s 1P wise provident measures by which the national spirit is concluded. We see hone of the savage fury in the-French Revolution; resisted all authority .and turned with relentless barbarity on the best itiendi atilt; Country. On the contrary, we find, that the Cttuncil of Seville, which ranks among the chief Provincial Jurisdictions, are proceeding upon the fundamental principles of the Constitution, which sandion their rejection of the order of .the Supreme Council of Madrid, when that Capital shall be in , l the hands of a foreign Power. Justly conceiving themselves authorized by the same principles, they have proclaimed-Femme AKD their King, and, unwil ling to assume any power on their own a: - count, all their proceedings are carried on under the sanaion of his name.' These measures strikingly manifest the wisdom and loyalty, as well as patriotism ; of those men. 4y whom t he operationspf Government are concluded in that part of Spain ; and we trust that the same judicious and provident system will characterize the Government of the whole Kingdom. All mankind must be struck with the contrast which we have noticed between this conduit and that of the French when their ancient Government was over turned, and we have reason to hope, that with such a superiority in the national' charaaer of Spain, the result will be as honourable and as happy to that Country, as the; effea of contrary measures was disgraceful and ruinous to France.— There is another point in the conduct of the Su preme Council of Seville, which, though. of minor insport4nce, is highly interesting, inasmuch as it not only shews its prudence, but its cordial amity with this Conntry, and fitra reliance on our friendship and fidelity, and that is, in its request that the Dis patches which are to be sent to the Spanish De petldenCies• in the West Indies, as well as the Oth eefil who accompany them, may be conveyed in a iiritish Vessel, in order to demonstrate the amicable connexion subsisting between the two Countries. These sentiments cannot but be improved by the progress of affairs, and will, we hope, be consolidated into firm and unalterable relations of amity and mutual interest. We received to-day a letter from Cork, dated July 7, which says—Sir A. WELLESLEY, Colonel TORRENS, &c. arrived here this morning at three A. M. He dines this day at General PLOYDD'S to-morrow with the Algol--; and on Saturday with the Merchants of the City.— Sixteen additional sail cif Transports art ived this day for the troops., The 36th Regiment embark tomorrow, and also the It th Dragoons."

Highiscss will-discontinue holding public days on Fridays, tint the next Sessions of Parlia ment. We are happy to find that our wishes are about to be gratified in the universal expression of. British .zentioserst in favour of the God-like cause of the brave Spaniards.—To-niorrow a Court of Common Council will be held at Guildhall, " to consider - the expediency of a Dutiful and Loyal Address to be presented to his NIAJESTY, expressive of thanks for the measures adopted by his NIAJEiT? towards as sisting the glorious cause in which the Spanish Nation is engaged,. to defeat the perfidy and usur pation of the common-enemy."—This will doubt less be followed by public Meetings throughout the Kingdpm, fur the sane loyal aDd praise-worthy purpose. _ _ .

Numberleis 'ate the ConjeCtUres respeeting the King of Sweden's journey to FinlOrid ; many think that, in conse-; quenee of disagreement with the English Gene .ral Sir J. MOORE, his objeEt may be to seek a recon ciliation with Russia. Letter from Uleaburgh to a Friend in StoCkholm.—;. " I have how lived 30 years in Uleaburgh, but this is the most fortunate day I ever experienced in this place, when, in consequence of the aelion near Sikajocki, I saw the town again in possession of the • Swedish Troops. The Anion first mentioned first Cheated the enemy's victorious career. • It was fol lowed by the Battles of Revoax, of the 22d April, and near Pulkila, of the 2d of May, which led to the recapitulation of the Town of lino peo. The gallantry displayed by the Swedish troops in the series of glorious actions, struck such terror into the Russians, that they no longer dared to attack the Swedes, but when their superiority in numbers was so great that it could not but secure to them a favourable result. - His Excellency Field Marshal Count KLINGSPOR arrived here this morn ing, and went in solem procession to church, where Te Deum was sung, in celebration of the signal suc-, cesses which it has pleased the God of Hosts . to grant his Majesty's arms.—(Stockholm Gazette,"June 29.)

LUND, JCNE 23.—His Royal Highness tht Duke D'AtwOuLsmE arrived this day at one o'clock in the afternoon, escorted by a detachment of his INlajesty's Life Guards, and dined with his Excellency Field- Marshal Baron TOLL. To-morrow his Royal High ness intends to go to Malmo, and from thence to Helsinborg ; from whence he will return to Chris tianstadt next Sunday. (Stockholm Gazette, Ist July.) The following Resolutions may be adduced as a proof of the ardent spirit with which the people of this Country embrace the cause of the Spanish Patriots : " At the parade on Sunday last of the Westbury, Clifton, and Ilenbury Volunteers, that fine body of men unanimously and spontaneously entered into the following Resolutions: " Admiring, in corninon with all our felloiv-suhjects, the heroic conduct of the Patriots of Spain, and the gener , ,us ef forts which our own Government is making in their behalf, we come forward, with alacrity, to offer our best services, as far as they can be made useful in this glorious cause. " We therefore agree to hold ourselves in readines to enter on permanent duty, tot any length of time his Majesty ►nay think fit, either in the garrison of Bristol, or in any other part of the kingdom, from which it may be Ile, essary to withdraw any great proportion of the more regular forces. " We have observed, that the National Guards (or armed Citizens) of rrance, h . aveldeen compelled to perform the mi litary services of the interior ; and vi think it the duty op Britons, at the present moment, to use every exertion in their power, with the view of rendering the military farce of this Country More disposable." A Spanish Colonel and two other Officers have: made their escape from Lisbon, and got on board Sir. C. COTTON'S squadron. The Letts from our, ships report that JUNOT had entrapped 4,000 Spanish troops *in a large square in J,ishon, sur rounded them with artillery, disarmed them and sent them on board some prison hulks in the Tagus, where they were crammed so close that 20 to 30 died, ,mostly from suffocation, per day. He had also disarmed a battalion of Hanoverians, and con fined them in one of the convents. At the date of these letters, 30,000 Spanish troops, above one third of the line and regular troops,. were . assembled in great force at Badajus, on the frontiers of Portugal, and were preparing to a6l on the offensive.

DUBLIN, JULY 9.--The Armament from Cork sailed, a we believe, on yesterday mot inty Sir ARTHUR WELLESLEY had probably arrived there 00 the preceding day : in his way thither he reviewed, the troops on . the Curragh, and expressed Ininseif highly pleased with their appearance. 'When vt-e ttdd that the whole army would have gladly acsorr - ..,;':itie.l. their beloved and gallant countryman on his giorioul Expedition, we only say that they partook largely of the universal feeling which pervades the Country. CORK, JULY 6.—The Troops embarked at Cot.c. will receive the augmentation of the 36th and 45th Regiments of Infantry. The latter embarked this•dt,!yr at Monkstown, and the, former will embark. to morrow. Several Transports prepared to receive Cavalry are also at Mookstown, and it is thought that a Regiment of Light Dragoons will be added to the Expedition. The arrival of Sir A. WELLESLEY is hourly looked for. The 3Gth and 45th were maretted from the gnarters with the shortest possible preparation, and 'it is therefore judged, titat the Fket will sail immediately. after Sir A. WELLESLEY joins•the Forces.

Andrew Wilkes, the Hate of .an American VesSql, was put to the Bar, on a charge of robbing' the Ship to which he belonged, whilst lying in the Downs. The Captain being detained 'in America in conse quence of the Embargo Ael, and the prisoner hav ing been already. confined upwards of ten month, was discharged. Joan Pinto de Silva was then arraigned for the murder of a fellow Portuguese seaman of the - name of Dos Santos. The circumstances attending the -transaction were few. The- : Prisoner interfered in behalf of a comrade, and occasioned the death - of the deceased. After a charge from the Judge, Mr. Baron GRA - - HAM, the Jury found a v9rdiet of Not Guilty. The trials of several seamen for desertion and run ning away with the boat of a West- Indianian, were put off to a future day, and the Sessions were then Adjourned. THE THEATR g.—The Comedy of Wild Oats in troduced Mr. MAY, from the ,Belfast• Stage, to the public last, night, at the Haymarket Theatre, in the Charaater of Rover. He is very like BARRYMoRE in face and figure. He is a bustling actor, but seems to want that polish which is necessary for the higher comic.charaeters on the London Boards. The Ship Robert and Sarah, which has arri:ed from Madeira, left that place May 26. We are sorry to learn that many of our soldiers ott that station are affected with the dysentery. The Bob it and Sarah brought home 40 French prisoners. On their voy- age home they had the temerity to lay a pint for the -capture of the Ship and the murder of the cretin, which consisted of nine seamen and 19 soldier:..-- .An old French Pilot discovered the plot to Captain 'WILSON, Of the Robert and Sarah, and the Otlic'er who accompanied the party home, when the French men were all secured below until their arrival at Portsmouth, when they were put on board the Pri son Ships.
